Bullying no contexto escolar: uma perspectiva através do filme “extraordinário”

The proposal of this research project aimed to deepen the understanding of the phenomenon of bullying in the school context, with a perspective through the film “Extraordinário”. This study sought to analyze the various dimensions of this phenomenon, clarifying its implications and consequences, with the aim of anticipating and preventing the occurrence of these unwanted behaviors. The analysis of the film was based on texts, scientific articles and relevant works. The film “Extraordinary” tells the story of the character August Pullman, or Auggie, as he is better known, a boy with a facial deformity that leaves him outside conventional standards. As the story goes, the film shows his first year at a school, after years of homeschooling. Analysis of the film provided insight into bullying and the strategies used to combat it. The story works on the character's evolution, showing what Auggie learned and what he taught others. The results highlighted the main conclusions and significant contributions to the understanding of the topic, which are presented in the final considerations. This presentation was preceded by an analysis of the data collected throughout the film, reflecting our commitment to a rigorous, critical and objective approach.
